"This is the kind of scene you couldn't script, characters you couldn't invent. Watch it immediately with the sound on. Australia can't be real," another person pointed out.

And this person said, "Get these girls on Ellen." Seriously, they'd be on a plane to LA next week.
FWIW, the twins run Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue where they have been saving seabirds for almost 20 years.
Their instagram is full of pictures of them, yep, you guessed it: Saving birds.
Here they are kissing a pelican:
Here they are releasing some terns*.
They were even visited by Steve Irwin (and crew) back in the day.
Anyway, this is what I needed after the Papa dying. I'm sensing a TLC reality show for them in their future.
